Awesome! Really appreciate you doing this for the community.

Do you maybe also know how to make the laser "auto-aim" if you point it close enough to a catcher? It happens in the 3rd (or 4th?) map in coop, Course 1.

I know that happens in PTI maps. I was making a map with HMW's portal placement helper to prevent you from getting a certain laser into a catcher, but it auto-aimed the laser into the catcher. Maybe you could check a PTI map using puzzlemaker_export.

This is a very old thread, it hasn't been updated for almost two years.

And it's a KV, as shown in the new FGDs.
